Twitter and More

I recently created my first twitter account and I have to say it is just fantastic. I was aware of this social media however never created an account and thus never followed any individuals or organizations. Not sure if I was not interested, or just a bit hesitant due to my lack of technological expertise. I think I am following about 35 different individuals and groups thus far. I am sure more will be added over the coming weeks. Of course, I am following all of our fellow students in LSC 597 and also the following groups:

This week I am following SLA in Philadelphia. One of the reference librarians I work with is attending the conference and tweeting from there.

I am also following the latest happenings at URI. Nice to get info about things that are happening on campus especially during the summer months.

I am also following Brigham and Women's Hospital. My daughter is employed there and I like to see what is going on in the medical field.

I am also following OCLC. I use this a great deal in my daily activities, with interlibrary loans and also cataloguing, so it is good to keep up with any new info.

Of course to keep my knowledge of the entertainment world up to date, I am also following E-online. Maybe frivolous, but fun.

I have not tweeted as much as some in our class, but twitter has opened up a whole new world of social media for me. I look forward to learning a great deal from this social media network.
